Description
The MLPNC-7100 is a low phase noise comb
generator (LPNC) with a flexible range of input
frequency and power. It is based on monolithic non-
linear-transmission-line (NLTL) circuit technology
and it’s banner spec is its ultra-low phase noise. The
phase noise shown is at the 120th harmonic
(12 GHz) and at any other harmonic it can be
calculated using the analytical equation PNN =
PN120 - 20 LOG (120 – N) N<120. It is available in
both coaxial and surface mount packages.
